The hotel is not accessible by cars as it is in an alley which is near the Bui Vien walking street, but you won't hear the party from here. 

We arrived late but check in was really fast. They were already expecting us (a/c was already on). We informed them in our online reservation notes that we'll arrive at that time; and got the room location we wanted. This is a plus point as it shows they were attentive to guests requests. Their staff (thanks An & Jack) are really nice and friendly and are always willing to assist you with their smiling faces. The room is big, complete with a refrigerator and they provide basic toiletries, a hair dryer, bidet, shower with heater. No water heater(for coffee) inside the room  but they provide hot water in the lobby. There is unli coffee that you can get anytime of the day which is really great! Breakfast was also great, complete with fruits. 

The only thing I would suggest is that, hopefully they do maintenance in their rooms as the walls has molds already.

All in all, our stay was great and it's worth the price you pay! 🙂 We'll recommend this hotel to anyone who would like to stay near the happening place! 👌


A stay near the happening place! 

The property is centrally located in District 1 with everything practically walking distance only. The rooms were clean and the air conditioning worked well. The wifi was also strong inside our room in the 2nd floor. Jack, the manager, and the other staff were excellent hosts. They were friendly, helpful and spoke very good English. I highly recommend this place and will definitely stay here if I visit HCM again.

Had a wonderful stay at this cozy hotel

Great location in HCMC! Close to all amenities. We stayed in 203. Quiet room. Comfortable beds. Front desk staff Jack, Jane & Cody more than made up for the tired rooms. They were friendly and very helpful! Would recommend for those looking for quality budget accommodation. Our stay was prearranged with a cycling group. We actually stayed an extra nite beyond, as cycling tour ended here.

Great Location! Comfortable Budget Digs.

First off the positives: pretty good price, central location right down the alleys of District 1 Backpacker Area. Room is fine, huge bed with clean sheets, lots of good storage, TV, hair dryer etc. Staff are nice but we didn't talk to them much.

The hotel and the room seemed very worn down to us. The room wasn't particularly clean. Gross thick dust on the TV which wasn't even high up, chest level on me. Under the bed was filthy with rubbish from previous guests. Under the boiler were orange stains from the boiler dripping rust. The cupboard was broken, the flush handle on the toilet was broken. The ceiling tiles were dirty and broken in places and there were chunks taken out of the wall plaster in places. The rainwater pipe ran through our room. Oh, and our room had ants.

Don't get me wrong. It's not the worst place I've stayed but we've stayed in some really really nice 2 star hotels. This, unfortunately, is not one of them. Book early elsewhere and you can get something much nicer in just as good a location for the same price.

Great central location... But needs a bit of care

Very good location as it is right off the main strip for bars and restaurants. Down a little street and no noise from the city which is great. 
Basic room and bathroom but no fresh towels provided after 1st night. 
Staff are helpful and accommodating. 
Offer taxi for $15 from airport but wouldn’t recommend as typically $5-7. 

Good location but basic 

Breakfast is simple but taste very good. Staff can speak english & Chinese very well. They are helpful can help to arrange transport to airport like Grab car. Help to carry luggage to grab car. Location very good near shopping, restaurant. Nearby shop have laudry service & convenient shop. Walking distance to Bui Vien walking street. Walking distance to Taka Plaza, i prefer Taka Plaza than other market.No Lift.Aircond strong enough. Wifi at upper floor not so strong.

Budget, Good location, Helpful Staff & Nice Breakfast.

我在酒店住了一晚。 我計劃在第二天清晨乘Futa Bus去Mui Ne。 但遺憾的是，所有座位都是因公眾假期而出售的。 幸運的是，經理傑克幫助我們打電話給其他巴士公司，最後我們有座位（雖然接客點是從酒店步行20分鐘，至少我有席位到美奈）。 我和他的工作人員在我逗留期間非常有幫助。 他們甚至幫我安排私家車到巴士接站點。 他們還推薦附近很多餐館，食物真的很好。 強烈推薦那些需要前往Mui Ne的人，因為這家酒店真的非常接近巴士接送點。

I stayed at the hotel for one night. I planned to go to Mui Ne by Futa Bus the next early morning. But unfortunately all seats are sold due to public holiday. Luckily, The Manager, Jack helped us to call other bus company and lastly we had seats (Although the pick up point is 20 mins walk from the hotel, at least I have seats to Mui Ne). He and his staff were very helpful during my stay. They even help me to arrange the private car to the bus pick up point. They also recommended quite a lot restaurant nearby and the food was really good. Highly recommend to those who need to travel to Mui Ne as the hotel is really really close to the bus pick up point.

Very nice and helpful staff

+
1. Location is perfect, it's in the quiet alley which is just right next to Phạm Ngũ Lão.
2. We got a Vietnamese Sandwich as breakfast, it was really tasty!
3. AC works quite well that even makes us bit cold at night, haha;)

-
1. A bit pricey compare to other same level hotel.
2. It's well decorated, but just in the lobby and entrance, not that stylish in the room. (very simple inside the room)
3. If could be provided take away breakfast for early morning leaving guests will be awesome!

Perfect location; a bit pricey

Needed a place to stay night before morning Futa bus to Muine, so was looking for a close inexpensive place to stay till morning  and didnt have much expectation. Fall for high rating of this place but obviously u can't belive it. Rooms were very dirty with spidernet all over, sink was not working properly, shower spraying all over, aircon was dripping water not really working . From positive side: very close to Futa bus station (2 mins by foot), very polite and friendly personnel, bed sheets seemed to be clean, breakfast was ok (2 eggs and sandwich) + some fruit. This could be a nice place to stay if it wouldnt be so dirty and unmaintained.
Hope this helps future travellers:)

Very dirty

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Very accommodating despite our late arrival! Location was great; close to the market and nearby to many restaurants and sites. Good breakfast each morning.  A few downsides - the room was dusty and the shower screen was not wide enough to prevent water from getting everywhere.  It was an okay place to stay.
